Other Painting

This is a section for other kinds of paintings and studies that I have done. As a painter I think one has to experiment a lot and or is thrown into a lot of different projects. As someone who teaches I think those experiments are needed to achieve a valuable perspective of other styles and modes that some of my student’s will have.

This is a plein-air painting on canvas I did using acrylic paint in Des-Moines. I kept it loose and I wanted to capture the energy of the farmer’s market. ‘Coincidentally” the buyer of this painting told me that that was why he bought it.

Sometimes painting is just for fun and requires no concept and just a little understanding of painting wood. I repainted this plasticky dancing Groot for my brother to make it feel more wood like.

I repainted an old Tinkerbell cake decoration for my niece.

These next two paintings of mine are abstracted in a way where symbolism and feeling is more important.
